Color Coding Folders

Hello, I am an attorney with rather severe executive disfunction. One of the most effective ways I organize information is through color. Is there any way that we can highlight all the tasks within a folder in the same color? For instance, when a new task is added, the line is a light green. Would it be possible to apply color like this to a line permanently?

Yes, I know it's supposed to look simple and streamlined. That you can sort in other ways.

This is ideal for the left-brained user. As a right-brained user, couldn't disagree more. My brain does not work linearly, so those aspects do not help me at all. Right-brain dominant people are more visual, color being a prominent "organizing" or grouping factor. In other words, I need to SEE the groupings without having to READ them.

So far, this is the best to-do application I've tried, but the color issue is so vital to me that I won't use this app.

In the same vein, page background color options would be another great feature. White is the worst/harshest 'color' to view on a monitor. Unlike reflected light from paper, where only a small percentage of the light is reflected, with monitors, one is literally looking at a light source. Eye strain is easily induced.
Even a couple of color options such as middle grays would be a great help.
-- Thanks for listening.

Even as a left-brained user who loves working with mindmaps, I don't find them useful at all for task management. A task list, is by nature, a list. Linear. I can't imagine, even in my addled left brain, trying to decide what to do next based on a mind map. To me, mindmaps are for complex interrelationships between things, and are useful for better visualizing and understanding those complex relationships. But when it comes time to sit down and do stuff, I'd much rather a list. I might use a mindmap to generate that list, but never to determine what to do next out of all the possibilities. YMMV.

Add my vote to implementing a color scheme BASED ON THE FOLDERS. And please don't force your color scheme on us poor customers: make it customizable!

Thanks!

P.S. I really love the way Toodledo syncs flawlessly and automatically between my iMac, iPod and iPad. I also love the way you're coming up with fairly frequent updates. As they say: "Love your program!"
